"It takes a thief to catch a thief" = Dùng trộm bắt trộm -> Người mà hay phạm pháp hoặc rất giỏi trong việc gây chuyện thì rất giỏi phát hiện hoặc bắt người có kỹ năng/làm điều tương tự như mình.

Ví dụ
“It takes a thief to catch a thief.” Despite being hundreds of years old, this idiom holds perfectly true for that most modern of thieves, the cybercriminal (tội phạm công nghệ cao). With adversaries (đối thủ, kẻ địch) consistently evolving their tools and techniques to overcome defensive solutions, foiling (ngăn cản) their attacks requires ethical hackers who are able to think in the same way and spot the same potential attack pathways.

Hiring ethical hackers to be part of a company's security staff is an approach several tech giants (gã khổng lồ công nghệ) -- including Apple, Google and Microsoft -- have adopted to help them build robust (cường tráng) protections against other, unfriendly hackers. The idea is that it takes a thief to catch a thief. This new approach provides a way for the hospital to use internal employees to identify issues with the network and other areas of the IT systems and fix them before they result in a breach (sự vi phạm).

That’s a perception abetted (xúi làm bậy) by the regulation military fatigues (sự mệt nhọc) worn by Asan, one of a mini-army of game rangers employed by a local conservancy (sự bảo vệ) — and a former poacher himself, qualified for the position by the old “it takes a thief to catch a thief” rationale. He’s also the cousin of “X,” who runs a small-time poaching racket without getting any blood on his own hands, instead delegating the actual hunting to his assistant Lukas. “I don’t like killing,” says “X,” a point he repeats as a kind of moral alibi (chứng cứ ngoại phạm).
